Fear is just a negative expectation of the future. It is a creation of the mind. The content of our fears are own memories coupled with thoughts generated by the media, well-meaning friends and associates, our parents, teachers, and other experts. These thoughts produce physical responses like the release of adrenalin that we call stress and anxiety.
The problem with fear is that it keeps people from going for it. If you never try, you’ll never fail, and if you never fail, you never learn. All successful people take risk. The most successful people have all failed many times. Though they have a projection of the future that they don’t like, they choose to face the challenge and move ahead anyway.
If you will become objective with your fear, and question it, and analyze it, and shine a light on it, most of it will wither and disappear. Fear is just a story in your head. It is not real, but it feels real. To overcome it, you can analyze it and expose it for what it is, or just ignore it and move on. The important thing is to move forward by acting.
Here’s the challenge for you today. Identify a great idea or opportunity that you have avoided because of fear and go for it! The worst outcome is you’ll fail and learn some great lessons. The best outcome is that you will succeed beyond your wildest expectations. One thing is for certain. You won’t be trapped by your fear any longer. Take action today and be set free from your fear!
